Raya has just bloomed, she is so fun to watch and so natural and confident. Such a fan!

I agree. Definitely seeing a different side of her. Love the vlogs!

I'm team-Raya on the Christmas decoration. But Louis, amazing, your office looks so nice!! What a beautiful vlog. The jumping-Raya and the advent calendar part were so so funny too!

I have to say, while I prefer the warm glow of the little white Christmas tree lights, Louie’s office transformation was truly magical. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next for Vlogmas!! ❤️🎄❤️

I love all the colour on Louis’ tree. You guys are insane to vlog every day at the busiest time of year, but I love it! Your love is shining through. A wise man once told me that the best thing a man can do for his children, is to love their mother. That really comes across in your vlogs, Louis.

I am 100% with Louis on colorful lights and all the colors in ornaments too. If you have a table that works, Louis, you could put your tree on it to make it grander in that space. LOVING Vlogmas, so thank you for doing it!

I’m really enjoying this volgmas. I’ve loved nothing more than finishing work late and flopping into bed with my iPad to catch up on the latest daily episode! Thank you so much for all the amazing content! We appreciate it🤗❤

You can be at peace knowing that if precious Neo cry’s when you guys leave the room he WILL settle down! As an infant, preschool and elementary school teacher for years so many little ones go through the “separation anxiety” phase but try to go ahead and leave the room as long as he’s in good hands, little by little and you’d be surprised at how he will settle down pretty quickly. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love that Raya prioritises being a mum 🥰 and thanks Louis for keeping jumping clip in 🤣 so real for that

Colourful lights for sure !

They make gates to go around Christmas trees! And then maybe you could use it after for the fireplace ❤💚

I have a 6-sided dog pen round my tree, to stop my rabbit getting to it. Also works on dogs, cats and children 🤣

I'm team Louis with the colourful lights. this vlog is amazing and so down to earth. keep it up guys

I know its not as easy with your busy schedules, but I would highly recommend doing your grocery shop at your local market, prices may be a bit more on some things but it would be plastic free, fresher and of course supporting the local businesses :)

When I was young our christmas tree was very colourful and full of mayhem with all our handmade decor, tinsel and crazy decorations. As we got older my mum stopped with the tinsel and started trying to keep a colour theme. I never did christmas as an adult but now as a mum of three its full mayhem maddness in our house.

Thanks, this was a perfect vlogmas if ever there was one! Great spirit shines throughout. My childhood was the coloured lights & decorations so I feel more Christmas like with that. Both of you did a great job though and love how you celebrate each other’s differences! ❤️

Louis decorations are so good!!

my daughter and I went to Rochester today to the Christmas Market and I was in the middle of explaining to her about your vlog on the Christmas Market, she then says she watched it too! I had no idea she was a fan as well. Your vlogs are bringing families and generations together. A bog thank you from Upminster and Hackney xxx

I’m so glad that you are showing the reality of having a little baby. You’re definitely reassuring young parents who decide to put the family’s rest first! It’s been a while since mine were small, but I remember basically deciding I wasn’t gonna leave the house for the first month or two! And after that, it was baby steps… It’s very wise to take it easy when your schedule has been thrown off a little bit… And still, every outing, big or small, is an adventure ❤ In the long term, you’ll be able to do more fun things, because you’re well rested! Also, padded flooring all the way! I love it! My kids loved that too, when they were little… You are one of my KZread videos I watch every day at lunchtime right now! So thanks a lot for this fun Vlog… Merry Christmas! P.S. for your book collection: My son’s name is Sam (you’ll have to see the story to understand why that’s important) and this is our favourite Christmas book from when he was a baby/toddler… He is now 22 years old! It’s still a classic and wonderful story: A Snowy Surprise by Amy Hest… oh, oh, oh, one more thing… White lights with cool decorations is fully my bag, forever… love seeing other’s style, too, but I do not waiver🎄

I have white lights in my current home, but I think I'm team Louie for the house you have and I don't limit my tree ornaments to a couple of colors. (Neither will you in a few years when Neo starts making ornaments!) But Raya's tree is absolutely gorgeous too and I'm glad you're going to have two. I'd like an advent calendar with tiny ornaments for a table-top tree.

I'm with Loui I grew up with colourful lights I loved it. All different baubles and trinket bits. Also found out there is a vegan Terri's chocolate orange!

Looooved the video!! So authentic, raw and honest! ❤

For me personally, Raya's decoration style wins. 🌲I prefer Christmas trees that are decorated completely without plastic and with natural materials (such as tin, wood or straw). I love the simple colors of your tree in the living room because it doesn't create overstimulation and creates a relaxed atmosphere. But the office still looks really great! I think the new order is really great! So high five to you both! Love, Sofie

Yes, Hawkeye is a wonderful Christmas series. Thank you for sharing your festivities and your cozy home vibes.

Louis wins already I love the whimsicalness of colored lights

I can’t choose which Christmas tree is best, because they’re both awesome! Great job to both of you!

Okay, absolutely loving this intro!!! Too cute! ❤

I loved to see you at home ,Some place where you feel safe and can relax and be yourself,I hope you have a blessed holiday season,love both trees🎄

Merry Christmas!!!

I'm loving the vloggs everyday keep em coming . Merry Christmas

The editing for this vlog was so nice especially the timelapses! For me christmas is all about the colorful lights but I looove the classic look too!

I loved both trees. I love traditional but adore coloured sparkly lights. I do an accent calender for my grandchildren which has turned into a tradition. They send back their calender which is small Santa boots big enough to place little surprises in. I collect little items during the year and top up with chocs. They love it.

Sorry watched some without commenting but wanted to say thanks for these, they are helping the Christmas spirit to come along nicely. Well played all of you and merry Christmas 🎄🚀🎺

Separation anxiety is traumatizing more for the parents. Trying separating for a few minutes at a time then increase. It’s more traumatizing the older they are when are not used to separating. You never know when an emergency will come up and you have to leave your baby with someone.

I’m dealing with the same thing with my baby! Her bottom two teeth are popping through and she’s definitely realized I can leave her now and she just really needs me near her. Quite an emotional time for her ❤

Great video as always!! I love both of your trees equally. My personal love for multifaceted colors is my favorite because i love colors and the way it looks.

You need to put the tree in a bowl of water, to last longer👍 I love the cozy home vibes🙏

Although I love both tree styles, I'm with team Louis, as I also grew up in the UK with retro tree decorations and colourful lights! A tradition that I've carried on through my adult life, with tree decorations my own family have collected over the years! ✨🎄✨

Merry Christmas 🎅

I love the combo of both!

Love the big, colorful lights !

You guys this is so cute! Good job on graphics. I look forward to watching every day!! Regardless of your day.. you make it eventful day for me 🎉😂merry Christmas

I grew up with the colourful lights, ornaments and tinsel in Australia so I do love Louis tree but as I have gotten older I do prefer the cool white lights as well so I also love Raya’s tree. This year I decided to do just lights on my tree with no ornaments so I have cool white and also flashing green and red ones and I love it. Thank you guys so much for your daily Vlogs you’re both amazing! ♥️🎄

You both did an awesome job decorating. Love all of the color🎄❤️

You’re both right - I myself have gone for a minimalist tree, I only have icicles in (silver)decorations on my tree

I have to come down in the middle cuz I grew up with all blue lights. What is it so true how important it is to the feel of Christmas. We have such limited space that I decorate the rubber tree. Love your vlogmas!

I am American and I grew up with classic white lights on the tree with lots of ornaments, and some loose strands of tinsel draped on branches. I also love the window candle lights with white bulbs. I love both of your trees but have a special place in my heart for Raya’s tree. 🎄🕯️❤️💚

I like the colored lights.

We had colored lights on our tree when I was a kid. Now we have lights that I can set between white, color, or they fade from white to color. Depending on my mood determines which setting I choose. Loving your vlogmas segments.

Love colorful lights😊

I grew up with color lights and continued that with my children. When they moved out, I tried the white lights with gold and red ornaments and just loved it. Good to switch it up. A suggestion for next years advent calendar, I have a large felt one with 24 pockets and you can fill it with little surprises. My kids liked different candy or a pass on doing different chores, etc. Be creative and have fun. Love this series.

My husband and I had the same issue, I prefer white lights and he prefers colored, so we compromise and alternate the tree each year. And we have a couple small artificial trees as well for a nook and a table in the house so whoever doesn't get their preference on the main tree that year, gets to decorate the small ones as they see fit!

This side of Loui as a Dad, is just the best. The holiday family of 3 comedy is the daily vlogmas that just tops the day off! Bravo!!

Love both your trees. I have warm white lights in my back garden all year round but at Christmas, I have classic multicoloured lights in the front garden too. Fairy lights lift my mood especially in the winter and make me smile 🥰❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Enjoyed this video i love the relaxed real life vlogs. Every year I get out our refillable advent cushion with 24 pockets and fill it for my daughter with whatever she's into, this yr its different disney lego people and a chocolate coin. She loves looking to see what she gets each morning.

My favorite Christmas movie is The Family Stone with Diane Keaton. Love how real it is. Love both your trees! Like that you both did your own creative thing! Thanks for sharing!

Louis, your office looks amazing, not just the tree and lights but the way you organized it so beautifully! Raya the downstairs and play area for Neo is wonderful! I like them both equally, both unique and magical :)

Thank you! ❤️

Love both your decorations!!! Louis, the reason the tree is dropping needles may be because it's too dry..not becauseit was 'cheap'.. Really enjoying your vlogs, whether you guys are out and about or having family time at home with sweet Neo. Love the idea of creating advent calendars for each other!❣️

DO more panoramic/slow pan shots of you building things! That was a cool style!

Inspired by how intentional you're being with your Christmas plans this Vlogmas I made myself an advent calendar of activities. There's some journal prompts, Christmas activities, and a few treats like face masks. I have a wooden advent calendar from when I was a kid that I usually fill up with my collection of Christmas earrings but this year I did something extra. Next year I want a tea advent calendar. 🎄

The timelapse of Louis doing the shelf was amazing! I've never seen that technique before. So curious how it was done. Super cool effect!

I highly recommend using both warm white lights and colorful vintage-y lights. That's what I've been doing the past few years and you get the best of both worlds, the warm ethereal glow and the whimsical nostalgia. You can also use ornaments with clear colored glass to get a similar effect. White lights go on first.

Raya, I am doing the same thing with Christmas romcom audiobooks vs movies…I love that I I can listen to something while I work with the same cheesy holiday vibes, but I get to multitask 😊❤

I love you blog days at home the most ❤

A quick fix for the tree would be to turn the play shelves so it forms a little cubby area and blocks him from the tree at the same time. You can put the side of the shelves against the wall and the back facing the tree. lay the play rug between the couch arm and the front of the shelves.Easy fix .

Loveee the Brighton at Christmas book!! Just found a version online for our local area for a friend's daughter 😍🎄

Love both styles!

That recipe looks soo good 😊

Growing up we never had a Christmas tree bc we would always travel to Mexico to celebrate over there instead but the outside was always decorated with colorful lights so I love decorating the outside with chunky colorful bulbs. My Christmas tree tho as an adult gets white lights bc I do a nightmare before Christmas theme

I love them both! I grew up with the colorful lights, so when I got my first place, I did all white lights with crocheted snowflakes that I made. I honestly love both. As long as they aren't blinking. Lol, that is a whole other debate.

My friend found a card making craft advent calendar! It’s perfect for me because it’s a new supply for each day!

Neo may be teething. He’s putting everything in his mouth, he’s on/off fussy, he’s drooling allot. Teething is a painful process for babies!👶 I like both Christmas styles! Colorful is my youth and traditional white is my adult style. Hugs, Doc❤

The office looks great! I would leave the light up all year round.

We do 2 trees as well: colourful with sentimental ornaments from childhood and travels and another pretty tree with white lights and themed ornaments. It makes us all happy!

I love how you guys give each other space to express, I love Raya's way of decorating!

Team Louis- I loved multi colored lights for the tree. Both of your trees are so beautiful. As for the advent calendar, I like the mystery of different candy or little toy. This year and doing an advent calendar with my cat and it’s all cat toys. In the past, my favorite advent calendar was one with the fact of the day.

i just picked one up for our state Christmas books are the best ❤😂

I loved that book! Enjoy! Also with my first child I would organize all his toys every night...did not keep this up when #2 came along :) I got a cheese advent calendar one year and it was amazing!

I grew up with the small white light and still like them too but I do like small mulicolour lights as well. Wishing everyone a great festive season and a safe aand prosperous 2024. All the best, greating from London.

A healthy mix of the two! Colour or white lights, no tinsel on the tree, but more baubles which can be colour coordinated.

What a lovely family❤ … I wonder how do you do the baby look the camera like a KZreadr? jajajaj it’s incredible. We love u all ❤

We are a house devided on the lights too. Hubby likes colored and I prefer white. Main tree is white and then there is a second tree in the hall with colored. 😊🎄

We have these books in Australia. e.g. Santa is coming to Adelaide! Also I put the playpen around the Christmas tree when the children were toddlers

The lights on my tree go from warm white to colorful, but I’d go colorful if I had to pick one. The more hodge-podge and the more memories, the better! Love Louis’ little tree

It's colorful lights for me. I grew up with tinsel garlands but I dont remember it having a smell. Colorful lights and colorful ornaments make me happy and cozy.

Team Louis 🎉🎄🎅 colored trees and colored lights are my jam

Team Raya for white lights on Christmas Tree. Team Louis for variety of colors for ornaments. I have created a village of 4 trees; one for religious ornaments; one for ornaments from my travels, one gold ornaments and the biggest tree a mish-mash of handmade ornaments. I love this Vlog.

Dash & Lily - a very cute christmassy show!

Neo can jump up and down, Raya…cannot! #energy 😂😂😂😂❤

I'm a child of the 60's and 70's. I like the multi-colored lights and all the different baubles. I can still admire the 'fancy' white lights and monochromatic colored baubles.

Amazing decoration, be sure to mount the shelf that is being used for the play area. So it doesn’t fall on baby Neo when playing 9:39 😊

Actually been watching lilly and dash on Netflix, and surprisingly cute Christmas show! Was on the fence still after the first episode but honestly so sweet. Recommended

I'm definitely team colorful Christmas!❤

I love watching you cook Raya! I imagine you in the future making long videos chatting freely about life while cooking in your dream kitchen in Costa Rica. So cool watching you two be the best parents and being so grateful for every moment! 🥹❤ Little Neo is beyond perfect

My bf and I are the same way I’m all about the white warm Christmas vibe and he wants the colorful Christmas lights

Every year we get 1 family ornament and both of my boys gets their own ornament. There really isn’t much room left on the tree with a 20 and 18 year old but when they move out, they will take their ornaments with them and hopefully keep those memories of our trips or outings just looking for the perfect one.

Either of you are welcomed to put up any tree you'd like at my place, I love both your very distinct styles! I think it's so fun that you did this. Personally, I've got burn out from years of hauling xmas tree and decorations down from the attic and then in reverse. Being an empty nester has instead got me embracing and loving the Grinch's deco free lifestyle. 😄

Love Both Christmas trees I have seen a box that has little doors ends on 25th Christmas that you can put things in so each day is different maybe a charity shop will have one. That way every day is a surprise.

It's about combining traditions, having different decorations that fit everyone at home. Now your children will grow with a mix of traditions. Bulgarian, American, British, Brighton and Costa Rican... this is a mix that will one day be the memory on which they base their own new traditions. Neo traditions, if you will😊

Love both but do love my blue LED especially what I put around my ceilings. What an amazing Vlogmas. Really look forward to the next one. Love the change around in your home. Raya what an amazing book for children 🤗🤗🤗

Pact coffee did an advent calendar this year. Has been lovely so far.

Merry Christmas whatever on Canadian Netflix is a good Christmas show!
